a hand and an absolute unknown

[acg123]

given his 1/2 pot donk sizing i thought this was a raise, and not close cos massive value to be had vs xxdd/Jx/weird draws/88/etc? I'm going to look at that decision more closely. The next decision i found a little more interesting.

Flop: ($1.95, 2 players)
SB bets $1, daven raises to $3.80, SB raises to $7.50, $3.7 to daven ($21.15)?

this looks like a combodraw or set, MAYBE QQ, but either way we are now in a tough spot. hence my reasoning for flatting the donk bet in my earlier post.

i really don't like flatting my overpairs vs tiny donkbets from unknowns on drawy boards. @ razvan, i see what you mean, but i disagree with him auto-folding his weak made hands if we raise

ok, so i flat vs his flop 3bet here cos i think his range looks like JJ/55/22/Adxd/66-TT(discounted)/QQ/KK/AA(discounted)/TJ/QJ/KJ/AJ. Shoving gets a lot of folds from the subset of his range that we can get value from, so isn't very smart. Calling leaves us against a range we are doing well against AND makes us look weak, some fish will convince themselves we have a flush draw now...

@ bikes, nice sig. Eloquent, even if i do say so myself: "I damage threads that may actually benefit some posters"
i guess "rude", "condescending", and "helpful" can be viewed as subjectively as we choose
